    Thanks E. Another NSD. Today I am grateful for
    * managed to enlist support of someone for someone else...
    * lovely whinny from ponyplops which strangely stopped when i put the hay down
    * got to lift share with DH
    * got loads of work done
    * its Friday tomorrow. Oh wait...
  • It just feels like it should be Friday tomorrow. Sorry about the stuff at work. But the most important part of your life is at home and that sounds good. I also like wearing clothes until they fall apart. I feel as I'd I have failed if stuff is still in good enough shape for the charity shop when I have finished with it.

    Take care,

    I loved this. Part of my new frugal self is to join you in actually wearing clothes out (or admit I dont like them and shouldn't have bought them and ebay them while they are still new enough to fetch a sensible sum!)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • Well done on the TillyTidies, I seem to be always catching up with my finances so end up doing one big re-jiggle at the end of the month when the salary comes in only, it's very boring!

    Come on Friday....
